  • 1 Ornamental Palms
    1 Ornamental Palms: Biology and Horticulture T.K. Broschat and M.L. Elliott Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center University of Florida, Davie, FL 33314, USA D.R. Hodel University of California Cooperative Extension Alhambra, CA 91801, USA ABSTRACT Ornamental palms are important components of tropical, subtropical, and even warm temperate climate landscapes. In colder climates, they are important interiorscape plants and are often a focal point in malls, businesses, and other public areas. As arborescent monocots, palms have a unique morphology and this greatly influences their cultural requirements. Ornamental palms are over- whelmingly seed propagated, with seeds of most species germinating slowly and being intolerant of prolonged storage or cold temperatures. They generally do not have dormancy requirements, but do require high temperatures (30–35°C) for optimum germination. Palms are usually grown in containers prior to trans- planting into a field nursery or landscape. Because of their adventitious root system, large field-grown specimen palms can easily be transplanted. In the landscape, palm health and quality are greatly affected by nutritional deficien- cies, which can reduce their aesthetic value, growth rate, or even cause death. Palm life canCOPYRIGHTED also be shortened by a number of MATERIAL diseases or insect pests, some of which are lethal, have no controls, or have wide host ranges. With the increasing use of palms in the landscape, pathogens and insect pests have moved with the Horticultural Reviews, Volume 42, First Edition. Edited by Jules Janick. 2014 Wiley-Blackwell.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

  • Systematics and Evolution of the Rattan Genus Korthalsia Bl
    SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION OF THE RATTAN GENUS KORTHALSIA BL. (ARECACEAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DOMATIA A thesis submitted by Salwa Shahimi For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences University of Reading February 2018 i Declaration I can confirm that is my own work and the use of all material from other sources have been properly and fully acknowledged. Salwa Shahimi Reading, February 2018 ii ABSTRACT Korthalsia is a genus of palms endemic to Malesian region and known for the several species that have close associations with ants. In this study, 101 new sequences were generated to add 18 Korthalsia species from Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam to an existing but unpublished data set for calamoid palms. Three nuclear (prk, rpb2, and ITS) and three chloroplast (rps16, trnD-trnT and ndhF) markers were sampled and Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood methods of tree reconstruction used. The new phylogeny of the calamoids was largely congruent with the published studies, though the taxon sampling was more thorough. Each of the three tribes of the Calamoideae appeared to be monophyletic. The Eugeissoneae was consistently resolved as sister to Calameae and Lepidocaryeae, and better resolved, better supported topologies below the tribal level were identified. Korthalsia is monophyletic, and novel hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia were put forward. These hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia served as a framework for the better understanding of the evolution of ocrea. The morphological and developmental study of ocrea in genus Korthalsia included detailed study using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy for seven samples of 28 species of Korthalsia, in order to provide understanding of ocrea morphological traits.

  • The Origin and Diffusion of Betel Chewing: a Synthesis of Evidence from South Asia, Southeast Asia and Beyond
    The origin and diffusion of betel chewing: a synthesis of evidence from South Asia, Southeast Asia and beyond THOMAS J. ZUMBROICH* 1 Keywords betel chewing – A. catechu L. – Piper betle L. – lime – biogeography – archaeobotany – historical linguistics – āyurveda – Austronesian – South Asia – Southeast Asia – Pacific Islands Abstract The preparation of a betel quid generally involves the combination of slaked lime with two plant products: the seed of Areca catechu L. (‘areca nut’) and the leaf of Piper betle L. (‘betel leaf’). This paper aims to pro- vide a comprehensive perspective on how the habit of betel chewing originated and was diffused across Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Pacific Islands before the common era. The limited biogeographical data available on the two plant species are consistent with a restricted natural distribution which was followed by a wide dispersal by human agency. A critical review of past archaeobotanical reports from South India to Papua New Guinea challenges some of the earliest dates claimed for betel chewing. By synthesizing evidence from the disciplines of archae- ology, historical linguistics and textual analysis on the plants and the material culture of betel chewing, a picture emerges that is far more complex than had previously been suggested.

  • Botanical Diversity at Soneva Kiri
    BOTANICAL DIVERSITY AT SONEVA KIRI Results from a preliminary botanical survey at Soneva Kiri Resort Martijn van Berlo Summary Soneva Kiri resort is situated on the island of Koh Kood, which is one of the most undisturbed islands of Thailand. The amount of different ecosystems present, along with the relatively unspoiled environment, causes the island to support a very large diversity of life. To get a better understanding of how rich this diversity actually is, an introductory botanical survey was conducted on the resort property. This report will first give a better insight into why such a large biological diversity can be found here. The plants focused on in this botanical survey were mainly the most common or the most notable examples found on the property of Soneva Kiri Resort. During the survey over 200 different species were found, of which some 121 different genera and species could be identified, classified under 56 different families. About 80 different species found could not be identified for a number of reasons. Sometimes the trees were just too tall to be able to take a look at any fruits or flowers, or the family under which the species is classified required such detailed knowledge that it was at the time of the survey not possible to identify them. The latter groups of plants were mostly figs, ferns, and orchids. It is estimated that Koh Kood is home to well over 1000 different plant species, so many more additions to this survey could be made. Many of these plants have an important ecological, economical or medicinal significance in various areas where they naturally occur.

  • Ethnobotany – 7
    ETHNOBOTANY – 7 7.1. Introduction Human beings were very much dependent on plants for livelihood since their origin. Palms and cane is one such important group of plants used by people mainly for their sustenance since the beginning of civilization. In addition to their food, fodder, house building materials, hunting, fishing and war equipments, different parts of palms and canes have been used in a big way. They are also used for the prevention and cure of various ailments of both the human and the domestic animals. Even the pre-historic man felt the needs of plant medicines to get relief from their various bodily discomforts. With the advent of human civilization, many systems of therapy have been developed primarily based on plants. Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani etc. are different traditional systems of medicines developed in India by different group of peoples. This plant based traditional medical system continued to provide the primary health care to more than three quarters of the world’s population. In India, the uses of palms for medicinal treatment were started dates back to 5000 years B.C. Palms also forms the very source of processed food and commodities. Along with the advancement of the civilization the society has been frequently facing the new diseases causing entities. It require many more formulations or medicines to tackle with such situations. Ethnobotanical studies plays lead role for new drugs development. Various authors (Kirtikar and Basu 1935, Chopra et al. 1956, Molla and Roy 1985, Das and Mandal 2003) had prepared lists of Indian medicinal plants used to treat various ailments by different communities in varied topographic locations of India.

Abstract Mechanisms of genome evolution are fundamental to our understanding of adaptation and the generation and maintenance of biodiversity, yet genome dynamics are still poorly characterized in many clades. Strong correlations between variation in genomic attributes and species diversity across the plant tree of life suggest that polyploidy or other mechanisms of genome size change confer selective advantages due to the introduction of genomic novelty.
